“Thank you so much for this podcast. I’m a married gay man that only accepted my sexuality within the last year, at 58 years old. I resigned my membership in the church of my birth after realizing I was gay. I couldn’t bare the guilt and shame inflicted on me growing up and continue to inflict on their LGBTQ youth. I haven’t been active since I returned from my mission, so it wasn’t a great sacrifice, but I felt it was necessary. I just wanted you both to know how much I enjoy listening to both of you. Thanks”

“Wow, just wow. i usually don’t feel the spirit this strong unless someone shares a really inspiring testimony on fast Sunday or I’m in the Temple. I just want to thank the host for opening up about her life and experiences and Miguel for going forward with this idea.”
